We had a princess party on Sunday afternoon in honor of Sophie turning 4! I loved my arts and crafts table with magic wands and royal crowns to be made, but it was hot, hot, hot that day and most kids could only handle the heat for the crown making. My girls pre-party: Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella:
I can't wait for my birthday so I can make this cake and frosting recipe again! So delicious if I do say so myself. I made them from scratch to avoid the hydrogenated oils that come in the boxed mixes and made a buttercream frosting that did not include crisco/shortening. Even Kent, who doesn't eat much sugar, had two. I wish there had been more leftovers.
They are arranged in a "four" . . . see it now, everyone?
A costume change and back outside later in the evening to sit with Prince Emmet:
Making some additions to her crown:
It's finally cool enough for wand making:
Thanks everyone for your generous and thoughtful gifts and for helping us make Sophie's day special. She was a happy little princess!
